Looks awesome man. I highly recommend the autofab mounts. $400 and change is a lot for what they are, but after putting them in, I wouldn't try to do it any other way. The driver's side is a total pain. I trimmed the old mount with the plasma and grind and hammer off the rivets. I used to have a bla...

Not really much to see yet in my opinion. You could imagine tearing out a 5.0 and trans - bare engine bay and some degreasing. Then I cut the old engine mounts out and bolted the new stuff in. Then I bench fired the engine to make sure it wasn't knocking or clacking. It'd been sitting (in good care)...

Are the autofab engine mounts solid or poly? I'm in a similar situation dropping an LS3 into my bronco and Don't really know if I should solid mount the trans and motor or use poly mounts. Looks like all the trophy trucks use engine plates but that's not really a good comparison. They're poly like ...

Yea so I got the engine fired up on my harbor freight engine stand this weekend w/ open pipes with O2 sensors https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhMgBvgGBVs I got a harness from these guys https://www.psiconversion.com/ HPTuners to remove VATS and tune it. Still needs a lot of tuning as you can see fro...

Well I am definitely for getting project done, perfectionism kills deals. Amen brother. All about playing whack a mole instead of boiling the ocean. Got the engine, tranny, and adapter home and tore the motor down and mocked up the tcase. Need to cut like 3-1/8" off the output shaft from the trans ...

I raced in the lucas oil regionals stock full class for a while. My theory is run it til it breaks, then fix it for good. One example is the ORD bomb proof motor mounts in the race truck. ;) Better to make progress than getting it perfect first pass. Projects that never run get sold after collecting...

Find the goonwagon build under Big Bronco, it is on the 1st page. The owner I think is on the west side. I am in southern AZ. Goonwagon Owner just did a LS swap maybe you can drive over and check it out. The stock BW skidplate would never work as a cross member, you will need to fab up a new cross ...

How do I edit posts on this board? I went and looked again. I have a Chevy driver drop 205, not a 203. Maybe I can get a 32 spline input for this thing and rebuild it. It's a rusty mess. Been outside in the direct sun and rain for 20+ years. Maybe I am more used to jeeps or something, but I am used ...

Resurrecting a zombie thread here, sorry if this breaks etiquette. I'm putting an LQ4, 4L80E, and NP208 in an 88 bronco now. I bought the mounts from Autofab. I'm sure there's been a bunch of these out there already. Anyone have any insights or tips? I'd go to a NP205 over a 208 unless you can get ...

I've fixed this on a few jeeps and from what I've seen, usually it's the steering joints on the knuckle.
